ZONK ONLINE GAME

Want to adventure in a deep dark dungeon. Solving puzzles and fighting monsters? ZONK is your key to adventure. Strap on your backpack, torches and make sure your sword is sharp, and spells are ready. With ZONK you will choose an adventurer, you will then choose an adventure.

ZONK has been in development for three years with Darklight Interactive. A coding and design studio in Florida. We wanted ZONK to be a mix of old school style gaming like Zork, and interactive visual based adventuring like Eye of the Beholder. So if adventuring is your jam, if killing goblins and avoiding evil magical traps sounds like fun, then ZONK is your game Adventure!

Timelines

Early 2022

The Idea Forms

ZONK was first proposed as a possible Role Playing Game by Tim Kask. After much brainstorming and talking, Tim had the novel idea to make something online. With an old school feel to it, and that is how ZONK came to be. Without the late Tim Kask's amazine imagination ZONK would never have become what it is now.
Late 2022

Principal Design and Art

Preliminary art and design for ZONK was completed with initially 56 art boards being made to represent rooms, hallways and monsters. We also began work on atmosperic items like chests, doors etc. Today the game has over 500 art boards, 200 monsters, and a wonderous array of rooms, traps and more.
Early 2023

Coding Start

Working with Darklight Interactive who we are also laying their new Role Playing Game out Atomic Age. Primary coding started, with Wizard Tower doing all map layouts, coding heirarchy, game flow studies and more. Wizard Tower Publishing and Darklight Interactive are working together on each of one anothers projects. Combining our skillsets to help each other out is what much of the behind the scenes community work does. They have coding skills beyong our abilities, we have layour, design and editing skill beyond theirs. Combining our abilities to help each other out is a textbook cemonstration on community among companies.
Mid 2023

Principal Design and Art

ZONK and its plan was looked at by a State of Michigan expert in Early Childhood development to ensure that the game was not innappropriate for kids 13 years up. This was done to ensure that ZONK and Wizard Tower Publishing were in compliance with existing State and Federal laws.
Late 2023

Coding Testing

Working with Darklight Interactive the first rough coding drafts were completed, with testing starting on game flow, character development and overall playability. Since 2023 in the past 3 plus years we have worked constantle to ensure the game works, works well and does what we want it to do.
